Ideally, you can put away fans in the corner and have an end where there would be a terrace.
But it will never happen, one of the reasons is that the steps currently in place are far too steep.
Nope. Set against it. I won't pay high prices to stand! The older you get the more you want to sit and let everyone have a view.
A more comfortable seat would be a better campaign. Whe I was a kid at the Spion Kop i rushed to get a 'bar' I could sit up on and if I failed to squeeze onto one I barely saw any of the game.
Being lifted off your feet by an overly energetic crowd and ending up several yards further down the terracing is frightening.
Simply put it's an old outdated way to attend a mass stadium event. It wouldn't be any different - just scary for a lot of people and dangerous on too many levels. under the old 'west end' police could never get to a fight quick enough in the densely populated standing crowd.
Simply fraught with problems.
There would be an increase in attendance levels as the ration to standing is different so clubs could benefit but at what cost?
It's a 'romantic' idea but not practical. Things move on for a reason. Accept them but improve the new.
It will never happen without seats.
why do you think that, theres still stadiums today with normal standing
..it will breed yobish behaviour. That's a sad indictment on today's society but unfortunately so true.
I think as a society we have moved on. I don't want to be treated like cattle told the only ticket left was in standing only?
Or suffer from the inevitable 'gang' like mentality that will surely come with it. the siege mentality that came with the 'West End' will come back and spill onto the streets before and after the game.
The idea that adjusting a section of the stadium would breed yobbishness is ridiculous. The dark days of the 80's was a problem with society, not football. But again, I don't think some people realise what safe standing is about, it's not a return to inadequate terracing and ramshackle stadiums, it's just a different way of experiencing football.

Well said, I don't think people realise what safe standing actually is, I think they just think it's a return of how it was 30 years ago
Guys please read the football supporters federation's take on safe standing and what it actually looks like and means. We will forgive you for initially being against it.
Ok I followed the link! How many people in block 15 actually stand only because the guy in front does ie: if he doesn't stand tand up then he would not be able to see?
